Prometheus
I really can't believe you said that
So much of their music is upbeat, melodic and fast paced yet you focus on Morrisey's lyrics as some kind of beacon call to the terminally depressed. lol that really is just laughable
I know they did, but they also had that darker side that generally won't appeal to fans of Take That. That darker side really isn't present in most bands, so they were a beacon call to the terminally depressed. That's not to say all Smiths fans were all like that and didn't know how to have fun, just that they had more than their fair share of the depressed (terminally or otherwise).
To be honest, "That Joke isn't Funny Anymore", "Meat is Murder", "How Soon Is Now?", "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want", "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" aren't really party anthems!
